linux-loader-v0.13.1

Changelog

[v0.13.1]

Changed

• [#148] Fixing kernel commandline parameter validation
  This change allows parameter values containing spaces in the middle, provided they are enclosed in quotes. However,
  strings with quotes in the middle will no longer be accepted as valid parameter values.
• [#205] Make image header for ARM and RISC-V public
  Kernel headers for ARM and RISC-V are made public to be used in a fw_cfg
  implementation that reads the kernel header.

linux-loader-v0.13.0

Changelog

[v0.13.0]

Added

• [#190] Introduce RISC-V64 architecture support.

Changed

• [#194] Updated vm-memory to 0.16.0.
• [#197] Re-organize loader, configurator and benches module layout, leaving original interface intact.

linux-loader-v0.12.0

Changelog

[v0.12.0]

Changed

• [#187] Updated vm-memory to 0.15.0.
• [#179] Load hvm_modlist_entry into guest memory when requested.
• [#177] Added loading of PVH module blobs into guest memory. This enables booting with initrd via PVH boot.

linux-loader-v0.11.0

Changelog

[v0.11.0]

Changed

• [#173] Updated vm-memory to 0.14.0.
• [#170] Added all features to the generated docs.rs documentation.

linux-loader-v0.10.0

Changelog

[v0.10.0]

Changed

• [#162] Updated vm-memory to 0.13.0. This introduces a ReadVolatile bound on KernelLoader::load.

linux-loader-v0.9.0

Fixed

• [#71] Fix incorrect
  alignment for ELF notes, starting address of name field and descriptor
  field have a 4-byte alignment.

linux-loader-v0.8.1

Fixed

• [#125] The ELF
  header contains offsets that the loader uses to find other
  structures. If those offsets are beyond the end of the file (or would go
  past the end of the file) it is essential to error out when attempting
  to read those.

Added

• Add a new criterion advisory to ignore list 2580d4

linux-loader-v0.8.0

Changed

• Updated vm-memory from 0.9.0 to 0.10.0.

linux-loader-v0.7.0

Added

• Added insert_init_args method allowing insertion of init arguments into Cmdline.

Changed

• Removed InvalidDevice error type (it wasn't used anywhere).
• Replaced From with TryFrom<Cmdline> for Vec<u8> to be able
  to propagate errors returned by as_cstring when converting a Cmdline to Vec<u8>.
• Support added for both boot and init arguments in try_from.
• Changed new to return Result for invalid command line capacity handling.

linux-loader-v0.6.0

Changed

• Crate is now using edition 2021.

Added

• Derived Eq for Error types and the PvhBootCapability enum.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in load_cmdline due to which the command line was not null terminated. This resulted in a change in the Cmdline API where instead of returning the cmdline as a String, we're now returning it as a CString as the latter has support for converting it to a null terminated bytes array.
• Fixed an off-by-one error in load_cmdline, where we were doing validations on the first address after the command line memory region, instead of the last inclusive one of it.
